Côté played for five different NHL clubs during his career. He played for the Boston Bruins (1985–86 to 1988–89), Washington Capitals (1989–90), Montreal Canadiens (1990–91 to 1991–92), Tampa Bay Lightning (1992–93) and Quebec Nordiques (1993–94). During that span, he played a total of 119 games in which he scored 2 goals and 18 assists for 20 points. He also racked up 124 penalty minutes. As well as the NHL, Côté has played in the QMJHL, AHL and IHL. He has also played hockey in Europe and Japan.[citation needed]

In 1996, Côté played 26 games of inline hockey for the Oakland Skates. He had 4 goals and 15 assists for 19 points.[citation needed]
